triplicate

Industries · Kirana and retail shops

If the counter PC dies, do you still know who owes you?

Sales, stock, udhaar accounts, supplier bills and GST: most shops keep them on the billing computer and the owner's phone. triplicate copies them every night to two more places.

What you hold, and where it lives today

Usually one copy, in one place. That's the part we fix.

RecordsWhere they usually live
Sales, stock and item ratesBilling software on the counter PC
Udhaar (credit) accounts of regular customersBilling software, a khata app or a notebook
Supplier and distributor billsPaper files and WhatsApp photos
GST returns and purchase registersThe counter PC, or with your accountant
UPI and card settlement reportsThe owner's phone and email

How it actually gets lost

  • The counter PC runs all day in heat and dust, on the same line as the shutter lights and the fridge. Disks fail without warning.
  • If the udhaar record is lost, you can't say who owes what, and customers remember it differently.
  • Theft or a fire takes the PC with it, along with any backup drive kept in the same shop.
  • Someone reinstalls Windows to fix a slow PC and the billing data folder goes with it.

What we back up

You choose the folders and mailboxes. Copy one stays with you; copies two and three go to two storage providers you choose, one of them on another continent (Mumbai or Hyderabad if your data must stay in India).

Billing and stock data

The billing software's data or backup folder on the counter PC, every night after closing.

Supplier bills

Snap a bill on the phone app. It's filed by month and supplier, ready for your accountant.

GST and accounts

Returns, purchase registers and the accounts folder.

Shop papers

Trade licence, GST registration and rent agreement scans from your phone.

Share bills with your CA, every month

Your accountant needs the same papers every GST month and every July. Put them in one shared folder instead of sending photos over WhatsApp.

A 'For my CA' folder

Supplier bills you scan, sales reports and bank statements are filed by financial year and month automatically.

Your CA opens it directly

Invite your CA by phone or email. They view and download what they need, when they need it.

Returns come back to the same place

Let your CA add files, so filed returns and acknowledgements sit next to the bills they came from.

You stay in control

See what was opened and downloaded, and remove access in one tap. Nothing else in your backup is shared.

How sharing with your CA works

How it works

  1. 1

    We set it up with you

    A short call. We pick the computers, phones and mailboxes that matter and set up the agent or app together.

  2. 2

    It runs on its own

    New and changed files are encrypted and copied every night; email every few hours. Nobody has to remember.

  3. 3

    Restore when you need to

    Dead disk, deleted folder or ransomware: download yesterday's files, or last month's, from any computer.

Which plan

Business, prepaid, minimum ₹200 a month

A single shop with one billing PC usually stores well under 100 GB. You pay for the storage you use at the rates of the two providers you choose, with a ₹200 monthly minimum.

Prepaid only: top up by UPI, card or net banking and we deduct each month. No auto-debit. Prices exclude 18% GST. How pricing works.

Get a call back

Leave a phone number or email and we'll call to understand your setup, usually within one working day. triplicate is in early access: we're setting up a small number of businesses by hand first.
